"easiest" way is to take the #36 road  from North Pattaya

 

get there early before it opens doors at 8 am  there will be a queue already , if you don't get an early ticket they may tell you to "come back tomorrow"

Yes taking the 36 from north Pattaya is the less confusing route but a quicker way is to take the 7 motorway towards Bangkok then come off left at the 36, then just up that road on the left. But i think motorbikes not allowed on the motorway officially.

Yes bikes are not allowed on "tollways"   the #7 has tollways and they are in use now,  actually I think #7 is the easiest way as you just keep going until the first big ( spaghetti juntion)  and bear left then the  DLT is just there on your left

but if you go on the #36  you don't have to go through any tollways  and bikes are allowed to use the road however you have to be on the lookout for the little U-turn  just past the DLT

( which would be on your right if using the #36 coming from Pattaya )   if you miss the u-turn then you end up at spaghetti junction nightmare !!!

 

U-turn at the red arrow..straight across all lanes watch out for high speed traffic !!

The alternative would be to go all the way up Soi Siam until you reach the No 36. Go to the left and over the top of the No 7 and the school will be on the left.

There are misc routes through the east-side without using Sukhumvit, #7 or #36.

But not easy to find without navigation help.

Up to the Pattaya experts to comment.

Very true, that is why I said follow Soi Siam. There is a shorter route to the 36 by coming off near the tolls but it is a difficult junction to navigate and very easy to end up going back where you came from.

Post #5 gives good advice.

And as I wrote, many routes through the east-side but I hesitate to suggest a particular one.
